[calamari]

I wonder if a sandwich could be worked into a Solitaire theme.

Only joking

[ATARIPITBULL]

Moycon, you so crazy.

[moycon]

I dunno. I think its pretty scary... I mean did you notice the cob-webs... Eeeeek!!!! That is one scary ass samich.

[rpmxxipt]

All I can say is WOW.. the bar keeps moving up every time these label contests continue..

Now at the risk of sounding partisan.. er.. well.. ah the hell with it.. GO ATARIPITBULL! You are an artiste! Let's see some of those famous Pitbull colors in entry #2!!!! Who the heck wants a dark old label you can't see without looking at it closely? Colors, colors! Rah! Rah! Rah!

And no entry yet from Brett G? He's always been my darkhorse favorite.. I can STILL visualize that bunny from the QB label contest.

Great work so far everyone! I had one worked up, but I don't know if T&A really fit the genre.. unless I spookified them, like Moycon, maybe.. hmm..

I have to admit, I'm still trying to figure out the Gary Coleman thing myself.

What? He's not scary enough for you or something?

[ATARIPITBULL]

The last person who said something bad about Gary Coleman, got her ass kicked by him, you better belive he is scary!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for those very nice words about my work rpmxxipt, I do what I can with the microsoft paint program that comes with all computers, I have no skill with Photo shop or Coral Draw, I am going back to school to take classes to learn how to use them so I can make 3-d pictures like everyone else does.

[krisjohn]

I found them! I'd given up hope of finding even a single rubber skeleton, but low and behold, two!

[monster angriff]

hell yes, I remember those crazy rubber skeletons, I got one a long time ago, back in 85 I think. Crazy, I wish I still had mine.

Hey guys, my entries are in. Once I saw we could see each other labels before the deadline, I stayed away fom the page so that other designs would not influence mine. Who knows who is going to win, there is a lot of talent at this board, but on originality and thinking out of the box I think Chris Johnson has the lead for his glasses-required label.
Good luck to everybody that entered, this was fun.
Now, if I don't eat today I may still be able to crank out one more...
Feo.

[ziggystar]

Looks like the label contest is a success! Looking forward to staying up late and seeing what comes in. This is going to be a tough contest!

Thanks for all thre great labels!

[Albert]

What's the current time over there? I think central-whatever about 13 hours behind my local time. I think there's roughly 2 hours, 15 minutes left to go. Am I even close?

You are correct.

[Albert]

With less than two hours to go, here are a few additional labels I have received today:

Mike Loffland (Entry #5)
Moycon (Entry #4)
Sven Licht (Entry #1)
Sven Licht (Entry #2)

Good luck to everyone!

[rpmxxipt]

Yes, I have to admit that Chris J's label was very clever.. but was it done with Windows paint? Hmm?

I'd like to see one of Brett G's bunnies done in 3-D terrorcolor.

Ah well, maybe next time.

[cristiana]

I usually check AA around 2x/week, and it figures, i forgot to check this past 2 weeks. I only found out about the contest on saturday, and it didnt leave me much time to make a label I was happy with. I guess i should have subscribed to the mailing list, oh well. Well, this is what i had time to do:

the text is a bit hard to read in this, but that is because of the jpg compression. Anyway, i wasnt able to finish this to my complete satisfaction, but i am still entering it. hee hee

No, indeed not. For anyone interested, the key peice of software was Anaglyph Maker.

Other parts of the puzzle include:

A Fujifilm MX-2700 with a cute little tripod
Photoshop 3.0.5
Word for the 3D lettering (seriously)

The spider was found in a swapmeet (trash 'n treasure, car-boot sale, whatever) and cost a buck or so. Same for the skeletons.

[ATARIPITBULL]

Well now its over and I for one would like to wish everyone else good luck and a great job done on all the label designs.
